The ministry said the items donated include communications and medical supplies, and that the funds will not be used to support military operations in Gaza.

Yeah, it's so easy to justify this kind of stuff. "Yeah no worries your money will go to those objectives, we will just redirect our regular budget to the military"

This is bootlicking at its finest.

Throwing actual cash money at a novelty sized defense contractor and BFF of the US military so that you can continue to receive funni weapons.
